Anita Bryant originally released "Paper Roses," where it peaked at No. A few years after the release of Osmond's version, Bryant transformed from fading pop singer to anti-gay activist with the publication of her memoir The Anita Bryant Story: The Survival of Our Nation's Families and the Threat of Militant Homosexuality.
A longtime spokesperson for Florida Citrus , Bryant's launch of the anti-gay organization Save Our Children — and her incendiary comments — led to a boycott on orange juice that ultimately ended her spokesperson gig.
In the end, Bryant became more infamous than famous, cratering her entertainment career. In addition to music and television, Marie Osmond also unleashed her talents on the world of musical theater. In , she took on the role of governess Maria in a touring production of The Sound of Music. Stepping into the shoes of the legendary Julie Andrews — who played Maria in the movie — inevitably invites comparisons to a performance considered to be iconic.
However, a Variety review of one of Osmond's Los Angeles performances was resoundingly positive, declaring the production had "enough spice to counteract the sugar. As Playbill reported, she was stepping in to replace Faith Prince, who had completed a nine-month run after she replaced Donna Murphy.
After the show ended its Broadway run, Osmond remained onboard with the touring production, taking the show on the road. While Variety theater critic Dennis Harvey admitted that her previous turn in The Sound of Music "did not raise hopes," he praised Osmond's "wholly different, and wholly delightful, performance that's matched by [the play's] top-drawer surrounding production. In , she debuted her solo variety show, Marie , which only aired seven episodes before vanishing.
Following that show's cancelation in , she turned to a whole other medium. According to Osmond, she'd turned down Broadway roles and other jobs that would take her away from her home in Utah. The new radio show would allow her to keep working without traveling so she could be closer to her husband and eight children, who, at the time, ranged in age from 22 months to 21 years. As she recalled in an interview with People , being one of TV's top teen stars had its perks — one of which was apparently having her pick of the hottest male teen idols of the era.
Among the celebrities she dated was Doobie Brothers singer Michael McDonald, described by Osmond as "probably the first person I had a crush on.
Since they were both successful singers with hit TV series, on paper they would appear to be a perfect match. However, she ultimately decided against it. His butt's smaller than mine. Not going to do it,'" she quipped. That year, the year-old spoke with People about whether she envisioned marriage in her future.
Her prediction held true. In , at age 22, she and boyfriend Steve Craig tied the knot. Sadly, as the Chicago Tribune reported, she filed for divorce just three years later. A year later, in , Osmond married Brian Blosil. That marriage lasted a lot longer, but came to an end in , reported the Deseret News. Marie Osmond married again, in — to the man she divorced in As People reported, she and first husband Steve Craig married again, more than a quarter-century after their split.
